- 350 ml water
- 100 g white sugar
- 200 ml freshly brewed espresso
Place the water and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to create a syrup.
Add the coffee to the saucepan and stir.
Pour the mixture into a baking tray deep enough to hold the liquid and place it in the freezer.
Once fully frozen, cut it into sqaures.
When ready to serve, blend a few squares at a time until smooth and slushy. Enjoy your granita al caffè as is or add some whipped cream on top!
